- This bout had been in the making for over a year and a half. Gatti and Mayweather were both stars in thier respective weight divisions and after Gatti won the WBC title in January of 2004 Mayweather was the WBC #1 ranked contender. Gatti had requested several voluntary defenses from the WBC before finally agreeing to fight Floyd Mayweather. The fight between the two fighters was billed as a superfight. It would be the first time that Floyd mayweather headlined a PPV event. Before the fight there was plenty of trash talk between the two fighters and Floyd had repeatedly referred to gatti as a "C" fighter.<br>

- When it came to fight time, Mayweather's handspeed was simply overwhelming as he landed three and four punch combinations at will.<br>
